Paradise

Perfect setting for a relaxing retreat. Only steps from a beautiful beach. Everything is thoughtfully provided for a comfortable stay. Relaxing loungers and snorkeling gear for the beach. Ample towels. Self catering facilities so you can eat drink and do the laundry in comfort. Generally quiet and private.

Had a great time at the Villa supported by an awesome team.

Had a great time at the Villa supported by an awesome team. The Villa was lovely and modern with beautiful gardens and had all the comforts of home. The beach was an amazing pristine spot, great for both swimming and snorkling. Easy access to Kayaks and sun loungers. Only 3 kilometres from Muri Beach for the Night Markets. We loved our holiday and wished we could have stayed longer. Thanks for making our stay so stress free and enjoyable.

I almost don’t want to write this as want to keep this property and the island a secret !

I almost don’t want to write this as want to keep this property and the island a secret ! It is amazing, in fact we ran out of words to describe its beauty. The property owners and managers are delightful. The houses we stayed in (2 families/2 different ones) were clean, bright, have more then everything you need to feel right at home. We made amazing dinners almost every night with lots of laughs surrounded by lush gardens. The beach is the most beautiful one on the island. We’ll be back

About the host

Hosted by Makayla Palms

We both grew up in NZ and went to school there.As it happened we both became school teachers, had our OE and returned home where we met and married
We taught for many years and gave up teaching in NZ to build Makayla Palms. We built and landscaped from the ground up and it was all a labour of love.

Why they chose this property

The land was given to John as he is part Cook Islander and for him it was coming back to half of his roots having been brought up in NZ. It gave both of us the opportunity to immerse ourselves with the people and their culture and for John there was a sense of "coming home"
We gave up teaching in NZ to build Makayla Palms. We built and landscaped from the ground up and it was all a labour of love.
It has been an interesting journey and we have learned so much.
We love that we have a local couple who doing our housekeeping and gardening and have taken ownership with us on the journey.
The icing on the cake are all the wonderful guests that come to stay and hearing their stories and seeing the pleasure that they get from being on such a wonderful piece of paradise and engaging with locals

What makes this property unique

Fantastic staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Helpful without intrusion.
The location being a short stroll along a private access to the beautiful Titikaveka lagoon and beach reputedly the best on the island
Beautifully landscaped grounds with herbs and chillis to pick when you are having a BBQ on your deckFantastic staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Helpful without intrusion. All with a smile!
